Morning rides for me are just a part of the getting ready process. Wake up, eat breakfast, ride 20 miles, shower, shave, brush teeth and then go to work. I have been doing it for so long that it is just second nature.
I really find morning rides much more rewarding than any other time. It really is the best part of the day. (just like my parents always used to tell me back when i used to sleep through every morning.
